Scientists have discovered how to build robots out of rice paper, opening up brand new possibilities for robotic applications. A team from the University of Bristol discovered that the same ingredient ...

In what may be the birth of cheap, easy-to-make robots, researchers have created complex machines that transform themselves from little more than a sheet of paper and plastic into walking automatons.

A few months back I covered a process developed at Carnegie Mellon University for creating self-assembling materials that can be printed on a standard 3D printer. Enabling flat sheets to take 3D form ...
